The game started cautiously on both sides, and the performance was limited to most of the first half in the middle of the field.
The most dangerous chances of the Liverpool match were in the 18th minute when Mohammed Salah gave way back to Sadeo Manet, who reversed the goal when city goalie, Ederson, came to his encounter, but the right arm could not stop.
John Stevens nearly cost his own goal when he shot the ball in Ederson's direction when he tried to avoid the game. The ball fell from the goalkeeper and the defender managed to keep it aside.
Liverpool is busy trying faster and better possession, compared to the decline of Manchester City.
But the latter improved his performance in the last quarter of the half and won the first corner try (33), followed by minutes after a brief break from Sane on the left, which ended on a shot from Alison (40).
The Dutchman, Virgil Van Dyke, took a center from the left, then returned to Bernardo Silva, who pbaded the left side, then returned to Aguero in the area. Alison's goal scored his goal.
In the second half, Liverpool seemed more accurate to reach the host zone, especially after replacing Brazilian Fabinio by James Milner (57).
After a powerful Danilo shot with the left foot in the area not far from the left corner of Alison 's 59th goal, Liverpool took the lead and had a dangerous chance after Ederson' s mistake, to score a free kick. Fermino, inside the surface, flattened the ground to find his teammate who returned to his goal (63).
But Brazilian striker Awad arrived a minute after a Trent Alexander-Arnold center on the right side of the box, reaching Andrew Robertson on the other end of the box.
City striker Reheem Strling broke through the center of Sance's field without giving any control, but he broke the ball to another player. He entered the field and hit the ground to the left of Alison.
